TL;DR: In this paper, a volume-of-fluid methodology for direct numerical simulation of interface dynamics and simultaneous interphase heat and mass transfer in systems with multiple chemical species is presented, and validated using the ethanol-water system for the cases of wetted-wall vapour liquid contacting and vapour flow over a smooth, stationary liquid.

TL;DR: In this paper, six alternative ethanol recovery processes were investigated from an economic and technical perspective using the commercial simulation software Aspen HYSYS 2004.2 with an integrated fermentation model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new hybrid separation process for energy efficient ethanol recovery, which is a hybrid of distillation and pervaporation processes, as opposed to most other hybrid processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between burning rate and fuel composition was found to be strongly dependent on vapour-liquid equilibria and relative volatility of the mixture, and it was found that burning rate models dependent on fuel properties gave better predictions of the relationship with fuel composition.

TL;DR: The thermal processing of waste within a landfill aids volume reduction, which will increase the life expectancy of the site and offers the opportunity for energy recovery, and the processing options and analysis presented in this study can contribute to initiatives for the development of sustainable bio-power systems.
